RestoreDBInstanceToPointInTime

Description

Restores a DB Instance to an arbitrary point-in-time. Users can restore to any point in time before the latestRestorableTime for up to backupRetentionPeriod days. The target database is created from the source database with the same configuration as the original database except that the DB instance is created with the default DB security group.

Indicates that minor version upgrades will be applied automatically to the DB Instance during the maintenance window.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

AvailabilityZone
